Because we offer products from three different partners, there are specific return details and warranty information for each respective category of the Buy Emergency Foods site: Food, Water and Power. Please refer to our Return Policy page for details.

If your order contains a combination of products from any of our categories (Food, Water, Power), or if you order a Preparedness Package, you may receive separate parcels for each category item. Although the contents of your order should be delivered together, it’s possible that parcels included in your order may arrive at separate times.Back to Top

What kind of packaging does Legacy Premium come in?

Legacy Premium Food Storage comes in six-serving Nitrogen flushed Mylar pouches with an Oxygen Absorber placed inside. With this unique process of double protection against residual oxygen levels, Legacy Premium pouches have way less than 2%, the bare minimum standard level of oxygen for long-term food storage. The pouches are then stored in stackable, heavy-duty , BPA-free polyethylene buckets that are perfect for storage. Each bucket has convenient handles or grips that makes it easy to transport and weighs less than 40 pounds. The buckets also provide protection from water damage and rodents.Back to Top

Do you offer any vegetarian products?

Most of the meals on this site are vegetarian friendly, the only exception being our selection of freeze dried meats. Legacy Premium decided to eliminate meats from their meal offerings in order to maintain nutritional value for longer periods of time while being stored. Real meat contains fatty oils and amino acids, which break down over time and can lead to loss of taste and nutrition. So not only are our meals vegetarian friendly, but they taste great and will last for years to come without the need to rotate them.Back to Top

All Seychelle filters are extensively tested by high quality US approved independent laboratories certified to test under the strictest EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and NSF (National Science Foundation) standard methods and protocol.Back to Top

Do I ever need to clean the filters?

No. Do not run hot water through your filter, do not use soap on any filter, and do not run filters through the dishwasher.Back to Top

How will I know when its time to replace a filter?

The recommended filtration replacement is based on gallons per specific filter type, but a good rule of thumb is to monitor the flow of water. When it is difficult to get a good stream of water through a filter, it’s time for replacement.Back to Top
